Abstract

The Common Fund Data Ecosystem (CFDE) has created a flexible system of data federation that enables users to discover datasets from across the U.S. National Institutes of Health Common Fund without requiring that data owners move, reformat, or rehost those data. The CFDE's federation system is centered on a catalog that ingests metadata from individual Common Fund Program's Data Coordination Centers (DCCs) into a uniform metadata model that can then be indexed and searched from a centralized portal. This uniform Crosscut Metadata Model (C2M2) supports the wide variety of data types and metadata terms used by the individual DCCs and is designed to enable easy expansion to accommodate new data types. We describe its use to ingest and index data from ten DCCs.
